Finn Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Does anyone know if there is a UK Manual or parts book or anything like that for the Series II / III Landrover Ambulance? I could only find pdf files for the LHD SIII Ambulance (Echolons) in the Dutch language. Is there anything in English out there?

fv1609 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Finn, these are User Handbooks that I know of. Don't get too excited it is the normal 3/4 Ton UHB with an ambulance supplement: Army Code No.20906 Ambulance, 2/4 Stretcher, 4x4, Rover 9 Army Code No.22153 Ambulance, 2/4 Stretcher, 4x4, Rover 11 Modifications, Data Summaries etc EMER WHEELED VEHICLES: Q 020/7 - Q 029/7 Ambulance, 2/4 Stretcher, 4x4, Rover 7 Q 020/2 - Q 029/2 Ambulance, 2/4 Stretcher, 4x4, Rover 9 & 11 (The suffixes may seem non-chronologic, but 3/4 Ton Ambulance EMERS were redesignated from /7 to /2 in 1969) Most of the EMERs & Parts Catalogues are common with the equivalent publication for the 3/4 Ton Truck but there are some ambulance specific ones: Army Code No.20929 Parts List, Parts Peculiar Only, Ambulance 3/4 Ton Rover 9 Army Code No.22108 ISPL for Body, Ambulance, 2/4 Stretcher, 4x4, Rover 9 & 11 Complete Equipment Schedule: Army Code No.33572 CES. Ambulance, 4x4 Rover 7, 9, 11 & Series III see: http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/AC33572.pdf Equipment Table Scale Scale 01202 see: http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/ETS01202.pdf Edited January 20, 2010 by fv1609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Wow, thanks mate.. finally someone can tell me a name.. I have been asking around for years! Do you also know where I could obtain these? Cheers, Finn Edited January 20, 2010 by Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Try Brookland Books , can't paste link, AGAIN, just shove in search engine. Edited January 20, 2010 by Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Do you also know where I could obtain these? Finn, I was afraid you were going to ask that! This is where people will no longer speak to me. I have to confess I have all of these documents. I don't mind copying the odd page if there is something you are stuck on, but I don't have the time to spend scanning. The trouble is I have over 4,000 British Army technical documents & understandably there is a lot of stuff that on a regular basis people would like me to copy but I simply don't have the time. There are a few companies that reproduce documents but for their efforts they want to sell a significant number. These sort of ambulance documents are not going to sell in huge numbers even assuming they are aware they exist let alone posess them. There would most certainly be the EMERs at the REME Museum & they may have some of the others. Places like Brooklands mainly have civilian books. I know they have the LightWeight UHB reprinted but I think there is a chunk of stuff missing in that even. So I don't think they would even know want an EMER was. I do try to share the info as & when I can. I hope you found the two links to the Ambulance CES & ETS on HMVF. But ask the REME Museum they are your best hope: http://www.rememuseum.org.uk/archive/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Brookland only has the Lightweigt and 101 books.. Noting Ambulance related. I will mail the REME Museum. Thanks for all your efforts so far.. this is more then I have hoped for! I downloaded the pdf from your links. Cheers! Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have a copy of the ambulance supplement for the 101. Can't remember where it came from. I'll dig it out and pass on the info. Babel fish will translate whole web pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 As mentioned previuously - you need other publications for the Marshall body parts. This is OK for mechanical parts but suspension upgrades (anti-sway bars) are subject of upgrade publications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 I have contacted the museum, but as I live in Germany at the moment, I will have to wait till my next holly day in the UK. But thanks for all the info! Cheers, Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Finn, can they not supply some of the documents copied & posted if you pay up front? Although I have to admit rummaging through documents in a military library is a nice way of passing a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 They don't do that any more. I would have to contract someone else, which will be quite expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA61 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Try Blanchards in Yorkshire.They usually have all these manuals in.They still have about 50 series 2a and series 3 ambulances around their yard,and all parts to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi Mate, just got an email from Nick @ Blanchards. They only have the parts Manual of the Dutch Ambulances. I was looking for the UK Manual. But anyway, thanks for the tip! Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'll scan all the Ambulance stuff I have & then post it up on here but give me a bit of time. But I'll do it. Requests for Ambulance publications often arise. ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Wow, that is really nice mate! Take you time, when you are finished, could you send me a PM? CHEERS Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iestyn999 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I realize this thread is 3 years old, but did anyone manage to find a sIII ambulance manual in english? Although the dutch version is online, you can't translate it because it's photocopies of a document not digital text :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I've never seen a S3 one but I do have the UHB for Rover 9 & Rover 11. They are not much different so I expect the S3 UHB just contains the many mods that were gradually applied to Rover 11. These UHBs are a disappointment because they are the standard 88 & 109 UHB with an ambulance supplement. Anyway I have spent over 3 hours this morning locating, scanning & sizing the images into a pdf for the Rover 11. I know it shouldn't take that time but I am not geared up as a professional copying outfit. I have sent the pdf to Lee to put it in the section with the other Rover Ambulance related pdfs. I'm afraid I have watermarked a few pages & put some characteristic identifiers. There are sites that are now selling some of my pdfs when they are posted here intended for free exchange of information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
